Jessie CatanaSeptember 28, 2015Absolutely ADORE this place. The tea is wonderful but I think the food is stellar as well! The chopped kale salad with hazelnuts and truffle oil is wonderful. Add protein too! Service needs work tho
Philipp NassJanuary 31, 2018Love this spot! While the lunch and dinner options are good, I come here mostly for the creative cocktails. Try the Geri Halliwell! Also, the staff is so friendly and welcoming!
Lauren MacNovember 16, 2015Cozy and creative interior that merges food, tea (at mostly reasonable prices), and alcohol into one space. Their build your own bowls are well portioned, I loved the tofu rice and sweet chili sauce!
Tea For Me PleaseMay 5, 2013The space was relaxed and cozy. All of the staff were very pleasant and polite. The tea menu was small but diverse. Grilled cheese made with brie instead of plain old American cheese, Yum! Read more
Yael GorchoverAugust 18, 2014The best breakfast we've had in the USA. We've ordered 4 different dishes including granola, eggs, pancakes, an omelet and fresh juices. Everything was awesome. You can even charge your phone.
Berk KapiciogluApril 18, 2016Beautiful spot to have lunch and get baked in the sun. Famous for its tea options. I had the dirty chai latte and the smoked salmon. Fast and attentive service. Doesn't get too crowded.
Benjamin LudmanFebruary 7, 2013Tea-infused cocktails may be my new favorite thing. On a cold night, try the spicy bourbon based "Barrel of Red Chai". For a more refreshing cocktail, the crisp "Earl Grey Gin Martini" is a winner.
Andrea HongDecember 5, 2013Relaxing spot for a catch-up w a friend or a break from the shops, w an amazing selection of hot & cold teas. Had an almond one the staff rec'ed bc it smelled like xmas, and holy mmm they were right!
Sherry WangNovember 16, 2014Serenity tea is one of the best decaf teas I've ever had. The pumpkin tiramisu and chocolate mousse are delicious and served in adorable mason/canning jars. Decent wine list too.
letajanelleMarch 15, 2016Superb! A wonderful spot if you're solo or with friends. Extensive tea list, great food & customer service + they have 🍷🍺🍸🍹- DoubleDeuceAugust 26, 2015Get a table by the windows/sidewalk and people watch the SoHo-lites. It's always a bustling brunch spot and best for 2 or 4 without overtaking the sound of the place.
Kevin Jan MOctober 23, 2014Sanctuary T...such a great place. Been here for breakfast and dinner & I was never disappointed. The food, the staff, the atmosphere...I just love everything about this place ❤️
Holly FitzgibbonJune 16, 2016Favorite casual brunch spot. Get the country breakfast and the Geisha Beauty tea. Oh and the creme brûlée French toast!
Barb LeungOctober 21, 2016Love the staff, especially Kortnee and Ben. You can never go wrong with any of the drinks (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) or the food.
Gracie DealeSeptember 13, 2017Healthy avocado and tuna poke on toasted bread! Yum mimosas and nice ambiance right on the street on W Broadway
Great for a boozy lunch, a fun spring happy hour and all year round dinner. Food is great and the cocktails are even better👌🏻
Jason KeathApril 30, 2014Order the Ghostbuster cocktail. It has nothing to do with the movie, besides a very green appearance, but it's fucking delicious.
Naomi SaphraOctober 28, 2015Great loose leaf tea. Delicious Brussels sprouts. Or really anything on the menu? In the fall, they have yummy pumpkin dishes.
Deborah TsuchidaDecember 31, 2018Feels like a super low-key, casual and cozy speakeasy. That you don't have to wait in line for! Decent food too.
ᴡ ElliotJune 7, 2015The chef's special tuna sushi bowl was insanely fresh. We shared it as an appetizer during happy hour, portion was just right for three. Drinks on point, too
Mari BSeptember 16, 2017Dinosaur kale salad was DELICIOUS. Fish tacos were great as well as the roasted cauliflower. Solid. Try it.
KlickpicksMay 28, 2013Great atmosphere and people, Sanctuary T is a healthy option when looking for a light lunch or afternoon snack. Try the tea sparklers-- perfect for summer!- Kunal PatelAugust 23, 2015If you're looking for a refreshing summer cocktail, order the Peter Piper. Gin + Green bell pepper give the drink a crisp, smooth flavor.
Sara 🌈⚔🍾August 8, 2016Fantastic menu of iced and hot tea. Finger sandwiches are delicious. Service is a little slow so don't be in a rush.
Sean SmithJuly 31, 2015Super interesting selection of teas. Ended up trying theRoo-t Beer carbonated sweet tea, which was a great interpretation.- Madina KassengaliyevaOctober 27, 2013Hosted a baby shower here and overall it went really well! Decent service and good food. It was a little loud and busy for a private party.
Chris KonecnyDecember 21, 2015Excellent arugula and apple salad! Very cool place. Good scenery while I was there as well
Physique 57May 26, 2011It’s no surprise they were named one of the top 50 healthiest, tastiest places to dine in New York City by Clean Plates NYC. Their teas are perfection – try their Chamomile Lavender tea.
Sharat PotharajuMarch 23, 2015Music, fantastic ambience and a great place to get a drink and get your work done
Excellent selection of loose teas. Try the Lapsang Souchong for a unique, smoky flavor.
Serafima SkibukOctober 30, 2013If you are about to try some good american cocktails in NYC ask Ban Pare - the guy knows his job very good!
Awesome teas for the needed warm up in NYC. And a true find for Breakfast all day! Cool guy named EAST, too. ;)
Great to come here for afternoon tea. For lunch, not so much - at least, don't order the salad with arugula and apple. It has no flavor!
Bart de HoonSeptember 8, 2015Past by in the evening, excellent bite, nice cocktails and good service !
Best breakfast spot in the neighborhood. The leek & asparagus omelette is delicious!
Julie MelilloAugust 29, 2013The drinks are really awesome here -- get a pitcher! The staff is great, especially Courtney who was so nice.
SarahMarch 19, 2014Great place to work/write as there's always a table for a laptop, and an excellent tea list. Skip the food. It's mediocre.
Nicole Of Course!August 26, 2013Try the BLT! And ask for the code to the wifi bc they have it, complimentary of course!
Try the Spring Spritzer w/ Stoli. Its refreshing and potent!
jason pMarch 14, 2015Fantastic service. Would return for this alone. Food good standard new American
Amy JAugust 10, 2012A+ for teas! I had the 'lasagna of the day' which was veggie lasagna, great presentation but bland tasting. My boyfriends steak was tasty though...
🐼 JackieAugust 13, 2013Drinks=awesome. You will get very drunk though because the food, while good, comes in super small portions.
